The TEAM hasn't...<p>Manny, you wrote &quot;But I feel obligated to remind U that this team hasn&#39;t quit on you.&quot; The TEAM hasn&#39;t quit, but many players have taken plays off. This isn&#39;t a new phenomenon. Randy Moss has admitted to taking plays off himself. Does this mean that Moss isn&#39;t talented? Hell no. But it does mean that he doesn&#39;t give 100% on every play. And this is the problem with too many players at Miami. You can fault Miami for their lack of talent, and I agree with you there. But I believe that Miami can be much more competitive than they have been, and part of the blame lies in the quitting on plays by some players. I saw it in the Oklahoma game, and in the North Carolina game. You like to talk about how Miami did not quit and came back in the second half. Do you think that might have anything to do with Shannon ripping them a new one at halftime? I&#39;m sure he wasn&#39;t happy with that performance and did not want to go through an Oklahoma type loss again.</p>
<p>&quot;Instead of hating on what Randy Shannon and his players are not achieving, how about praising them for what they have? <br />
How about not quitting on them?&quot; My criticizing of them proves that I have not quit on them, for to truly quit on them means I couldn&#39;t care less about what happens with UM. You want to talk about what they are achieving, and I want to talk about what they can acheive...just by trying. It&#39;s one thing to have another team just beat you...I have no problem with that. But when you lose because players didn&#39;t give their all, well that is just unacceptable. The ESPN announcers, during the Georgia Tech game, commented on how Shannon had said that he wished his players would play with the same intensity on every play. Now why would he make a statement like that, unless he himself has seen how some of the Canes are taking plays off? He also made a comment of how this isn&#39;t like the NFL; you can&#39;t cut players or trade them. Why would he say that? Because if he could, he would do just that with some of his players. Quitting isn&#39;t something that just happens with Miami, it happens with teams all over the nation. Check out this recent article on quitting: http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/10429556</p>
<p>I think UM will be just fine and a great future awaits. Shannon will recruit players who want to play and are eager to give their all on every play. Unfortunately, UM will still have some of these players (quitters) on the roster for a few years until they finally move on.</p>Ryan commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54efd7d1788332007-10-24T01:46:05Z2007-10-24T01:46:05ZRyani was in tallahassee and was at the game and didnt see too many cane fans leaving that huge UM...<p>i was in tallahassee and was at the game and didnt see too many cane fans leaving that huge UM section (that was more full of UM fans than when UM won in tallahassee in 2001, i was there also). I agree that many UM fans had lost hope, but no one left the stadium early. </p>
<p>A couple of observations from the game: </p>
<p>1. UM should not give up on the running game, and should focus on running the football from here on out any way they can. Running opens up the play action pass and I think Nix is gonna be a great coordinator and he is a great play caller...i just think he gets pass happy at times...FSU doesnt stay close in the first half if UM continues to pound and run the football like they did in the second half.</p>
<p>2. Cooper is a great running back...need more completed screens and wheel routes to him. Need more of him and James in the game at the same time with Cooper in the slot.</p>
<p>3. Love the offensive line play...this is the best a UM offensive line has looked since 2001-2002.</p>
<p>4. i have been so negative towards randy phillips for always being out of position and for never making plays...he proved me wrong and just played a great game.</p>
<p>5. UM COACHES MADE GREAT OBVIOUS HALFTIME ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS...THE OFFENSE RAN THE BALL AND COMMITTED TO THE RUN...THE DEFEENSE DEFENDED THE CROSSING ROUTE THAT PRESTON PARKER KEPT RUNNING AND I DONT THINK HE HAD A CATCH OUTSIDE OF THE FIRST QUARTER.</p>

True CANES fans don&#39;t act like some of these bozos do - A true CANE fan may get disgusted, upset, disheartened at times, but we never stop cheering or loving our CANES. It&#39;s amazing to read back thru all the vile comments when we were losing to FSU, only to see the same haters giving all the love after we came back and won. And, yeah, I was there baby, loving (almost) every minute of it! </p>Lorraine Matthews commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54f1107d288342007-10-23T15:24:02Z2007-10-23T15:24:02ZLorraine Matthewshttp://typepad.comThe Hurricanes is a team I've supported since 1980 and will continue to support through thick and thin and who...<p>The Hurricanes is a team I&#39;ve supported since 1980 and will continue to support through thick and thin and who ever the head coach may be. Under the new direct ion of Coach Shannon, these young men have been giving their All! Complain if you must that&#39;s your opinion, but a real fan &quot;Will Believe&quot;! I text my cuz #94 quite often to let him know that we{the real fans} believe in this team and support them 110%. So to all you real fans trust and believe in this team and the coaching staff that our day is coming! C-A-N-E-S!

<p>Hey everybody, it’s Pete “The Storm”, or as many of you have been referring to me lately, the “idiot.” First of all, I want to personally say “thanks” to Shandel for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts and feelings last Friday via the guest blog. More importantly, I would also like to take this opportunity to express my sincere apologies to the players, coaches, and Hurricane fans everywhere for my comments following the GT game.</p>
<p>My intent today is not make excuses for the things I said or wrote about in the blog, we can verbally joust those issues another day, but rather to go on the record that I am truly sorry for offending so many people. Believe me, it was never my intent to hurt anyone’s feelings, I simply got caught up in the moment and lost it. The last few years of Hurricane football have not been easy on any of us, and apparently I don’t handle frustration and disappointment as well as some of you. That doesn’t make me a bad person or an idiot, it just makes me different.</p>
<p>On a more positive note, “how bout them Canes?’ I was fortunate to be one of the few thousands of Canes fans (actually, it felt like 80,000 Canes fans) at the game, and it was awesome. I was there with my 18 year old son and just to let you know, he thinks his dad is a pretty good guy. Anyway, I don’t think I need to sugar coat it, this was a battle between two not very good teams. I’m sure I’ll get some criticism for saying this, but once again, the play of our quarterbacks was horrendous. Luckily for us, FSU was worse. I was joking after the game that I thought we finally found “our” quarterback in Xavier Lee (kind of like having the fortune of having Chris Rix around for 4 years), only to find out today that Drew Weatherford is coming back. Darn.</p>
<p>The last couple of minutes of the game made the long trip home allot easier. Let’s enjoy this win and hope that it created enough of a spark to carry us the rest of the year.</p>
<p>Again, my apologies.</p>
<p>Go Canes!!!</p>
<p>Pete “The Storm”</p>
<p>yeah, he&#39;s just full of douchebaggery.</p>
<p>It&#39;s time to move on with this, IMO. Let&#39;s pack in the old girl, the Orange Bowl, for the last two games, EVER, and back this team 100%<br />

I&#39;ve stuck with and had faith in every Cane&#39;s team since I started watching college football and took great offense to what he said. Yeah, we have a lot of a-hole fans, and yes I think that the jerkoff who wrote the blog on SS is a douchebag, but that doesn&#39;t mean they dont have faith in or don&#39;t respect our team. As Dave said above, fans are going to be fans, just because some don&#39;t react as classy as perhaps you do adams, doesn&#39;t make them any less of a fan. I completely understand Manny&#39;s frustration, and have actually posted comments in the past blasting persons whom are critical of the team. However Manny is one of the go to voices of Canes athletics and in the end knows, not only how much we support our Canes, but also how much we support him and his Eye on the U team. Regardless of what some of us may say or post, that includes the douchebag on SS, we&#39;re all still here supporting the U. It may not be in the way that Manny or even myself may find appropriate, but that certainly doesn&#39;t make them any less of a fan.</p>

The true fans have a right to bitch and moan, we&#39;ve earned that right. But there is a line between constructive criticism and cruel comments. Attacking players personally for no cause is uncalled for. Calling players out for lack of effort, heart etc. is fine. We wouldn&#39;t be fans if we didn&#39;t. That&#39;s it. Great win against FSWho, let&#39;s keep it rolling legion.</p>green commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54efc7a6f88332007-10-22T20:43:24Z2007-10-22T20:43:24Zgreenhttp://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_college_hurricanes/2007/10/outlook-changes.html#comment-87271276 It's not that Shandel is inadequate, but it's clear that The Sunsentinel doesn't give much resources or support to...<p>http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_college_hurricanes/2007/10/outlook-changes.html#comment-87271276 It&#39;s not that Shandel is inadequate, but it&#39;s clear that The Sunsentinel doesn&#39;t give much resources or support to the Canes blog...</p>
<p>If you read Manny&#39;s Cane&#39;s section at Miami Herald, it puts this site to shame.... like comparing a highschool paper to a pro paper...</p>
<p>I don&#39;t believe it&#39;s Shandel&#39;s fault, he&#39;s doing his best being spread thin. </p>
<p>The Sunsentinel editors need to take at look at the MH Canes coverage and ask themselves whether they are seriously interested in competing to be the better paper when it comes to sports coverage</p>

As a former student and lifelong fan, I am upset about how far Miami football has fallen. But, that does not justify the comments and actions from some fans. From Pete in the Orange Bowl (after the GT loss) to the internet posters, there is no room for this lack of class. Either support the program or get out of the way. Honestly, we don&#39;t need fans like that.</p>Canes! commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54f10a30c88342007-10-22T18:57:52Z2007-10-22T18:57:52ZCanes!Origional T, you are an ass.

A REAL CANE would at least know who we&#39;ve played. Secondly, you sound like a bandwagon fan. Just because you&#39;ve been around for 17 years doesn&#39;t mean crap. Let&#39;s see, 17 years ago and working on our 3rd NC. Hmmm, sounds like you did the jump. For myself, my bro played for them and I would have too, BUT they were on probation at the time so no scholarship for me. This upsetted me the most and probably why I lost the love to play football. But boy &#39;o boy, I love to watch. And I will be a Cane fan, back the Canes, and support the Canes win or lose. Cheer for what you&#39;ve got NOT what you could have! Have faith and the rest will follow. Be a classless Gafor fan cause that&#39;s all you sound like.</p>CJ commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54efc2d3288332007-10-22T14:49:04Z2007-10-22T14:49:05ZCJManny this was a great post. i dont think you had to justify anything. your statement seemed loud and clear....<p>Manny this was a great post. i dont think you had to justify anything. your statement seemed loud and clear. great game and great post. </p>Benjammin' commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54f10799b88342007-10-22T14:40:25Z2007-10-22T14:40:25ZBenjammin'Great post!

I am usually on ESPN&#39;s forums and I see Canes fans bashing Shannon and the players, blah blah blah. We get enough bashing from all other fans around the NCAA so why our own? We should always back our coaches and players. Let the negativity come from some other fan that is just jealous. We need to stay positive and be behind our Canes 100% win or lose. I am very pleased with this team. They are not quitters like we saw in the Peach Bowl against LSU. Look at this game and look at the UNC game. These guys don&#39;t quit. They may not be the most talented, but they are giving their all. This is all we can ask, and this IS what we are getting. GO CANES!</p>green commented on 'A remedy for non-believers'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200e54efc292188332007-10-22T14:21:49Z2007-10-22T14:21:49Zgreenhttp://elm.washcoll.edu/past/079/06/fall.php washington college's marissa babnew: "While most people were packing their cars and heading home for a nice, relaxing fall...<p>http://elm.washcoll.edu/past/079/06/fall.php washington college&#39;s marissa babnew: &quot;While most people were packing their cars and heading home for a nice, relaxing fall break, I was hopping in a plane to Miami to visit one of my best friends from home. She is a student at the University of Miami, where upon arrival, I realized being at school for her is more like being on vacation. Accompanying my friend to class meant walking through a tropical landscape complete with palm trees and past the giant outdoor pool (it&#39;s always warm, of course) where people were lounging in the sun. The atmosphere was more like resort than a college. I spent my day relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather. Dinner at the dining hall is unthinkable in Miami because of the amazing array of restaurants so close to campus. Because I was a special visitor, my friend and I were invited to dinner at the Ritz Carlton in Key Biscayne. ... Since my friend didn&#39;t have class on Friday, we spent the whole day at South Beach people watching and working on our tans. ... After very few hours of sleep, it was time to go out once again on Saturday, this time to the Orange Bowl for the Miami vs. Georgia Tech game. Despite Miami&#39;s loss, it was a lot of fun to witness the immense amount of excitement and school spirit. ... Miami is an amazing city that certainly never sleeps and University of Miami rivals any popular vacation spot in its beauty.&quot; TROPICAL PARADISE<br />

Someone made the comment that this is just about entertainment. Thats crap! Maybe it is for some, but atheletes rely on their fans support in tough times and good times. we are an essential part part of the equation. That is why selfish bandwagon jumpers are useless to anyone but themselves. </p>
